Make him pull them at a walk too. Blade wants to canter up them, but I pull him down and make him either walk or rack up them. If he walks, he can't just dawg walk either, he's got to keep some spring in his step. It seems to be working, he's getting built up fairly well for a non-quarter horse.

Inservice me????:')

It took me a minute to figure out what you meant. My version is "'splain pleez". ;o)

I guess I used "pull" in 2 different contexts, sorry 'bout that.

When I said "Pull them at a walk", I just meant to make him walk them instead of rushing up. They always feel like they're pulling something when they do that, and I guess they are, gravity.

By "Pull him down", I meant that make him "downshift" from a canter to a walk.

A "Rack" is a gait a Racking Horse does, similar to a Running Walk that a TWH does.

A "Dawg Walk" is that draggy, slow, "dead lice falling off of him" walk that's just one notch above a dead stop.

It all sounds kinda redundant now that I read it. I should think more before I type. :o)
